** ADDS PLACE WHERE WORKERS PREPARE SANDWICHS ** Workers prepare sandwichs at a snack bar in Havana, Cuba, Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010. After the announcement made Monday by Cuba's government that it will cast off at least half a million state employees by mid-2011, the island leaders have already determined what workers should do after being dismissed from their jobs, detailing a plan for them to raise rabbits, paint buildings, make bricks, collect garbage and pilot ferries across Havana's bay. (AP Photo/Franklin Reyes)AP - Cuba is calling workers across the island to special meetings so labor leaders can brief them on half a million government layoffs coming in the next six months and suggest ways that those fired can make a living.
